Downtime Thread & NO GAME this week. Resuming 9/27.

Downtime Thread & NO GAME this week. Resuming 9/27.

In the warmth, before the fire, in Zalvorex's cozy sitting room, Zalvorex welcomes you back. Vaz pours a mellow, mauve whisky that washes away your weariness. And the two of them settle down to eagerly hear your report. They ask you about in detail about the landscape of the valley and the encounters you had. They are very curious to hear the current state of the ship. They question you in detail about each of your encounters. They seem disturbed when you recount the encounter with the Eigolphins. And apologize that you had to relive their trauma "in most violent fashion".

They are pleased to receive what you have given them, pocketing the detachable globe and smiling broadly when you hand over the humidors of hulbaba. They encourage you to return for the still more lucrative materials in the lower deck. They ask you casually if you took anything else from the vessel.

Dennis finds that the experience he had in the captain's quarters remains with him. He now remembers the experience of losing his brother in the pink wheat to the horrifying psychic vampires, and the devastation and anger of his parents, and the self-recriminations, as though it were a memory of his own.

T'kar shows his affliction, revealing the eyes on his chest. Zalvorex does some tests and reveals them to be a demonic possession. He thinks that with the tools from the operating theater, he might (50%) be able to remove the demonic infection. However, if Dozar casts an exorcism spell Dozar believes the power of MANA-YOOD SUSHAI will be able to drive them out. Until the affliction is removed, T'kar cannot sleep. The eyes are unblinking and watchful, even if covered in darkness, and the mind can know no rest. He will not heal tonight from sleep and will be fatigued in the morning (-1 to rolls).

What do you say in answer to Zalvorex's question about whether or not you took anything? You may ask them any questions you like about anything you encountered, or the maps that I attached below.

    Ben L. As a player, I was completely unaware that only some things were supposed to be taken and some weren't. On your list of treasure, it reads to me like only the statue is "stolen". Does that mean Ernis is in the clear for those novels?

    Nick Kuntz Yes, you came to the session after we had discussed that. The novels were stolen, I had marked them in the wrong category. You can bring it up if you want to, but it's up to you. Right now their just tucked away in your bag. If you don't tell me otherwise, I'm assuming that you will read them and later sell them.

Zyan as Scented by Hiero's Nose

The Sunken Circle, The Temple of The Archons Steps lead down from each of the five shrines into the sunken area at the center of the Temple of Archons. Along the wall of the depression at shoulder height, an inscription is carved, “It Belongs Not to the Pawn to Question the Intention of the Hand That Moves It”. The bulk of the sunken area is taken up by a single immense block of red stone that has been carved into a wondrous model of a city. When one descends the stairs, the model lights up, illuminated by the same light that currently falls on Zyan above. When you first viewed the model, the streets are lit by the mottled light of sun through dappled clouds. But later, when you poke your heads in to the temple, the model is lit by silver light of the moon and phantasmagorical pools that accumulate below the city's dangling colored lanterns. The model rises to shoulder height at its highest, and waist height at its lowest. It is stylized, with some buildings and locations of ou

The Riches of Bazekop

Image
Over the last five sessions, our party of daring dreamers plummeted in the aerie depths of the lowest level of the White Jungle on the back of a fleet of giant war crows, violent and wild, with a phalanx of storm rider paladins. Their mission was to loot the invisible tower of Bazekop, Prince of the South Wind. In all honesty, my imagination had begun to wear a bit thin and algorithms repeated themselves, over the course of these sessions. So, I’d prefer to be forward looking here. This post is dedicated solely to THE TAKE, the greatest take the party has pulled in our three years of adventuring. (I still hold that had Clovis been present, the party might have perished. The party has a long history of accidental but timely player absences. You wouldn’t have the Petal Blade had Sir Tresken been present for the session in the Cenotaph of Lady Shirishanu where you faced Shirishanu’s handmaiden. But I digress…) Unasi removes his chainmail armor, and sets aside his ho

Campaign News for 5/9/2019

Two weeks pass since you returned from Bazekop's tower with your epic haul. It takes a long time for the items you brought through to be identified, appraised, and for the payouts to the party. In the meantime, the party has been scouting real estate locations, doing research, and pursuing other long term downtime goals. During this time, the party learns of several rumors and events: Since the party's trips to the dreamlands are a state secret, none know the true source of the Chatelaine's newfound wealth and splendor. Wild rumors circulate about the Storm-Riders having won a legendary haul for her. Some say they hunted and slew an ancient dragon that roosted about the shattered isles. Others say that the Storm-Riders ventured in secret through the door in the locked down section of Carver's Quarter around Ultan's Old Print Shop and bring back the riches of the dreamlands. Meanwhile, everyone at the Temple of Ulim is speaking about the party in the Lavender R
